Anyone into R/C?

i know it's just the masking, but it'd bee cool do do a ripple, textured look like the windows have, across an entire body.

 

i have no idea how i would do that tbh lol. probably just paint the liquid mask hahaha

 

You could try the saran wrap method. The home grown marble paint job fad has died, but I'm sure you remember seeing cars running around with that kind of paint job.

Put your mix of colors down and then lay saran wrap down. Then pinch and pull the saran wrap into the pattern you want. Let that almost dry and then peel off the saran wrap.

I don't know how it will work considering you're painting everything in reverse though.

 

^^^^ similar methods are still pretty popular with the RC bodies, lots of paint swirl jobs out there, especially with hydrodipping now. I've never seen a linear ripple though, always circular/wavy.

 

lol yeah i already did that just didnt think it looked like the liquid mask haha

 

twin hammers is getting some aluminum body panels....

truck is a blast, but man do those fake lights get torn up when it rolls. picking up some aluminum sheet today or tomorrow for it

 

The REVO will probably never see a body again. Having the steel cage on it is a must. I'm eating through it though. I may have to run a bead or two on the cage to prevent it from grinding through.

 

this one has a plastic cage, so body panels of some sort are a must.

you should build a stainless cage for the revo

 

finished the body. and heres a pic with the old beat up one lol

 

What are the best premounts to get for a 1/10 shortcourse truck? The track is hard packed with some loose dirt on top.

 

It's been in pieces several times and has been brought back to life each time.

This happened over the 4th.

 

i keep seing posts on facebook of people driving them, so i'm just flat out confused at this point.

 

I was tinking about doing something similar with the twin hammers. those lower links actually looks like the aluminum TH links.

\

agreed.

 

yeah, that's a little spendy. i'm finding that crawler and scaler parts are more expensive than race parts recently looks like he's got a swaybar in the picture too???

 

excited to see it run
had i not built the tube chasis for mine, i was going to sell it and get an R1

 

Awesome! i love cross contaminating RC parts on builds. you end up with the best of everything.

 

let me know if you find one
